Mario Maker was first revealed at E3 2014, and allows users to create their own Super Mario Bros.-style levels from a set of different items via the Wii U GamePad; an idea Miyamoto says was similar to the creative process for the first Super Mario Bros.

"When we were working on the original - first - NES Mario game 30 years ago, every level we had to first draw on paper before we put it into the game, and it was a big process. But with Mario Maker it's a game where you can design a level, and as you design it, you can jump in and play it, and try it out."

Recently it was announced that legendary composer Koji Kondo would assume the role of sound director and main composer for Mario Maker. For more, check out our recent interview with Kondo.
